2 The Right Propulsion System for Every Situation. Be it out at sea or in port, on rivers or lakes: Voith s custom-tailored propulsion systems ensure precise, prompt and safe maneuvering. Our propulsion solutions are specifi cally designed for all maritime tasks and requirements. Propulsion system technology is key to operate vessels effi ciently and with a high degree of safety. Matching the propulsion system to the vessel design is equally important. With 90 years of experience, Voith provides both: Propulsion systems tailored to the application in question and vessel concepts. In addition to the proven Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) with its stepless, precise and prompt generation of thrust in all directions, the Voith Inline Thrusters (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsors (VIP) are used as propulsion systems or thrusters. The Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) combines the best properties of propellers with the best properties of waterjets. Voith offers a customized service package accompanying the customer throughout the entire product lifecycle. 2

4 Voith Schneider Propeller Propulsion and steering ahead, astern and sideways: The Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) developed 90 years ago generates thrust in all directions. Propulsion and steering are combined in one unit, thus allowing prompt, safe and precise maneuvering, even under adverse conditions. An additional feature: Voith Roll Stabilization (VRS) Voith Schneider Propeller 4

5 Successful worldwide The VSP is suitable for a wide range of applications from harbor tugs to offshore supply vessels. And it has been operating successfully in all these applications for decades. The VSP is distinguished by its high reliability and low maintenance requirements. Its low fuel consumption translates into minimum power requirements while at the same time maximizing safety for the vessel and the environment. The VSP principle is strikingly simple and fascinating at the same time: A rotor casing fi tted with four, fi ve or six propeller blades rotates about a vertical axis. As is the case with the tail fi n of a dolphin, a superimposed oscillating motion of the blades around their own axis generates thrust. The magnitude of thrust is determined by the rotational speed of the rotor casing; The blade angle determines the direction of thrust.

8 Voith Inline Thruster and Voith Inline Propulsor Minimum vibration and noise emission, prompt steering response and effi cient thrust generation these were the targets set by Voith for the development of a new propulsion system. The results are the Voith Inline Truster (VIT) and Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP) Rim drive systems. The VIT is the ideal transverse thruster for use in the bow or stern. It signifi cantly improves the vessel s maneuvering. Together with a steerable nozzle, the VIP SO AZI is designed for swing-out and rotation capability through 360. Prompt, efficient, silent VIT and VIP require neither axes nor shafts or gearing. The propeller blades made of carbon-fi ber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) are attached to the inner side of the motor. The motor transfers a large torque without transmission losses. The unit is cooled by seawater, i.e. an additional cooling system is not required. Thanks to the sea-water-lubricated radial and axial bearings, the motor is completely maintenance-free. With an optional swing-out unit, the VIT-SO can be extended from the vessel hull when needed. In addition the VIT-SO AZI can rotate through 360 in their end position. Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) VIT cut model 8

9 VIPs and VITs can either be used as auxiliary propulsion systems or transverse thrusters. Voith can offer the entire system: tunnel, grids, fl owparts and the power and control electronics incl. frequency converter.

10 Voith Inline Thruster and Voith Inline Propulsor for Offshore Applications The VIT signifi cantly improves vessel comfort and provides increased thruster performance. Be it Dynamic Positioning (DP) or harbor maneuver the VIT is the right choice. The swing-out fully azimuthing Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP) combined with a nozzle, is designed as a main propulsor or assist system for DP or tracking modes, while providing the highest comfort class criteria. Efficient, silent and compact The VIT, as well as the VIP, for offshore applications, operates with a central roller bearing system. The system features a well-proven design and material combination. The bearings are equipped with a leakage-free and redundant sealing system. The fi xed-pitch thruster blades of the propeller are made from bronze, are highly resistant to cavitation and suitable for iceclass. The propeller is directly connected to the rotor housings. The unique design of the VIT / VIP results in signifi cantly reduced noise and vibration emissions. A positioning of accommodation areas near the thruster area is possible without any major provisions concerning insulation. The VIT / VIP is not signifi cantly stressed when the propeller ventilates.

12 Voith Linear Jet The Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) combines the best properties of propellers with the best properties of waterjets. Low installation complexity, low sensitivity to marine growth, sustained high effi ciency across the vessel s speed range and high bollard pull are taken from the propeller side. Reduced vessel draft, the ability to reach high speeds with high effi ciency and low noise and vibration levels are taken from the waterjet side. Applications Crew transfer vessels Yachts (Semi)-fast ferries Defense applications Product features Good high-speed and low-speed effi ciency Low noise & vibrations Low maintenance machine Low marine growth sensitivity Reduced draft A new propulsion standard The Voith Linear Jet is suited for almost all ships with a top speed of 40 knots or less. Especially ships that combine a high top speed requirement with frequent low speed cruising will benefi t from substantial fuel savings and an increased range at sea. Typical examples of ships with such an operation profi le between low and high speed are coastal patrol vessels, ferries with seasonal operation profi les or yachts combining low-speed cruising with high-speed transit.

13 Rotor relations VLJ PD [MW] v [kn] PD [MW] Power-speed Intersection v [kn] The above graphs indicate the VLJ size required based on the relation between the engine power and the design speed of the vessel. For instance a ship with two kw engines and a corresponding design speed of approx. 32 knots will need two VLJ2180 s. The correct VLJ size is thus indicated by the line above the intersection of the engine power and the design speed (see example in above graph). Please contact us for an accurate selection custom for your project. Special operational conditions like bollard pull, towing conditions or extreme low noise profi les for defense applications are not considered in above graphs and may give size selection deviations. 13
